Subject: [PATCH 2/2] UML - Speed up exec
Date: Fri, 30 Mar 2007 10:52:57 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070330145257.GA5471@c2.user-mode-linux.org> (raw)
flush_thread doesn't need to do a full page table walk in order to
clear the address space. It knows what the end result needs to be, so
it can call unmap directly.
This results in a 10-20% speedup in an exec from bash.
